Thursday

Yesterday, actually this whole week was weird. I think The Littles have gotten together and made a plan to drive me crazy. One day Alex is all over the place, acting like a turkey and the next day it's Olivia not listening. I would prefer if they would both be good on the same day and both be bad on the same day, but that would make things easy and they aren't going to do that.

Last night, some of us church ladies and Jennifer's mom got together to help Jennifer make food for April and Brandon's reception. We cooked cheese straws and made some mints. Both were easier to do than I thought they would be. I am putting together some spinach dip today. It was nice hanging out with the girls, talking and cooking. I also enjoyed spending time with Jennifer's kiddos, they crack me up.

Tonight we have Rock Group at the Pumpkin Patch. I am so excited. I stopped this morning to get graham crackers and Hershey Bars. Yep, we are making s'mores. I also got some Reese's cups to use instead of the Hershey's. If you haven't tried it, it's YUMMY!

I made a great recipe last night.

Margarita Chicken

4-5 frozen boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/4 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 Tbsp. margarita mix

Mix sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl. Plop the frozen chicken in the bottom of crock pot. Cover with the sauce. Cook on low for 7-9 hours.

This was yummy. We had it with brown rice and corn. I think it would have also been good with a wild rice blend, like Uncle Ben's. Anyway, Alex asked for seconds. I think he is going to be my picky eater, but will learn that you eat what is cooked or you don't eat. I decided a long time ago that I am not a short order cook.
